All technical manual here
http://www.sram.com/en/service/

Most rockshox fork are built all at the same length and the shorter ones merely have a spacer restricting travel ( usually on the spring side) So to increase the travel you need to remove this spacer (replace with a shorter one for medium travel)

Remove the lowers from the fork, dismantle the spring side and remove the spacer. takes ten mins

^ doesn't apply to all Rebas though, so be prepared for dissapointment when you take them apart and don't see a spacer anywhere

Merlin were selling 80/100s cheap, I bought a set of 100/120s off here but then stipped them and found out they weren't going to get any longer than 100
